- DirectorTomas AlfredsonStarsKåre HedebrantLina LeanderssonPer RagnarOskar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl.I read the book recently, then bought the film and now its my favourite foreign language film, and one of my favourite vampire films. The film is nowhere near as good as the book, but does tell the story really well, and this film is so much better the the US remake "Let Me In"
- DirectorMike NicholsStarsNatalie PortmanJude LawClive OwenThe relationships of two couples become complicated and deceitful when the man from one couple meets the woman of the other.my favourite Romantic film, all the actors are amazing and the script is lifted from the play, no changes! that is rare in a film

- DirectorMilos FormanStarsJack NicholsonLouise FletcherMichael BerrymanIn the Fall of 1963, a Korean War veteran and criminal pleads insanity and is admitted to a mental institution, where he rallies up the scared patients against the tyrannical nurse.again, studied the play, this time in college, and as part of the studies I watched the film and really liked it, though I have to say the Play has alot more detail. one of those films that questions the sanity of Humanity, and who the sane ones attually are, this is made much clearer in the stageplay, but the film does deliver the message too
- DirectorLen WisemanStarsKate BeckinsaleScott SpeedmanShane BrollySelene, a vampire warrior, is entrenched in a conflict between vampires and werewolves, while falling in love with Michael, a human who is sought by werewolves for unknown reasons.REAL VIMPIRES VS REAL WEREWOLVES. 1 million times better then the twilight saga!
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonJack NicholsonKim BasingerThe Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker.what can I say Jack Nicholson IS the Joker in my eyes, he is mainly the reason I love this film, that and the storyline is alot closer to the comics
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonDanny DeVitoMichelle PfeifferWhile Batman deals with a deformed man calling himself the Penguin wreaking havoc across Gotham with the help of a cruel businessman, a female employee of the latter becomes the Catwoman with her own vendetta.again, the story is really close to the comics, plus Michelle Pfieffer IS Catwoman
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMia WasikowskaJohnny DeppHelena Bonham CarterNineteen-year-old Alice returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.you can tell by now that I am a big fan of Tim Burton. and you can tell in this film that it was created by a fan of the Alice In Wonderland books, the referances are so frequent
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppChristina RicciMiranda RichardsonIchabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people; the culprit is legendary apparition The Headless Horseman.more Tim Burton, what can I say, I'm a sucker for gothic stories like this. the changes from the book are well placed and make sence, Burton didn't change it for the fun of it, there is method in his madness
- DirectorHenry SelickStarsPaul TerryJoanna LumleyPete PostlethwaiteAn orphan who lives with his two cruel aunts befriends anthropomorphic bugs who live inside a giant peach, and they embark on a journey to New York City.A childhood favourite the film doesn't change the book, which is fantastic. the voice acting is amazing, plus the legend that is Pete Postlethwaite is the Narrator/the guy who gives James the crocodile tougues. If you don't know the story get out from under your rock!!
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsJohnny DeppHelena Bonham CarterAlan RickmanThe legendary tale of a barber who returns from wrongful imprisonment to 1840s London, bent on revenge for the rape and death of his wife, and resumes his trade while forming a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett.I know more Burton, I'll stop after this one I swear! Johnny Depp is amazing in this, he has such a good singing voice, and again I'm a sucker for gothic style films
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsChieko BaishôTakuya KimuraTatsuya GashûinWhen an unconfident young woman is cursed with an old body by a spiteful witch, her only chance of breaking the spell lies with a self-indulgent yet insecure young wizard and his companions in his legged, walking castle.My Favourite Studio Ghibli film, its like The Wizard of Oz but with soooooooo many twists and turns and character changes, you dunno whats gunna happen next, unless like me you watch it religiously. plus Christian Bale plays Howl in English
- DirectorHayao MiyazakiStarsDaveigh ChaseSuzanne PleshetteMiyu IrinoDuring her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and where humans are changed into beasts.another Ghibli film, this is Alice In Wonderland, again with twists and turns
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.although highly complicated, this film is a real thought provoker. much like The Matrix this film questions reality. its just a great film and well worth watching
- DirectorRichard KellyStarsJake GyllenhaalJena MaloneMary McDonnellAfter narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.great film, the reason I love this film is a mixture of being a sucker for Gothic style thrillers and a sucker for films that make you think about humanity, and whether we really do make our own choices in life, and if there is really a path that we are set apon from the start of our lives.
- DirectorGarth JenningsStarsMartin FreemanYasiin BeySam RockwellMere seconds before the Earth is to be demolished by an alien construction crew, journeyman Arthur Dent is swept off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher penning a new edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."one of my favourite comedies.

- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsSimon PeggNick FrostKate AshfieldThe uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his layabout roommate are disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.the best plan when there's a zombie apocalypse, go to the pub! also this film the film as well as being very funny, questions humanity and the way we live.
- DirectorIvan ReitmanStarsDavid DuchovnyOrlando JonesJulianne MooreA fire-fighting cadet, two college professors, and a geeky but sexy government scientist work against an alien organism that has been rapidly evolving since its arrival on Earth inside a meteor.one of the funniest films ever! it's just a long advert for Head and Shoulders. great comedic actors, great music, just generally great!!
